65daysofstatic – Tiger Girl

These guys started off as a pretty big standard (and in my opinion kind of mediocre) crescendocore post-rock band. Then they started adding synths and electronica elements to the mix.

This is probably my favorite song by them, though the work they did on the  No Man's Sky soundtrack was also excellent. I love they way this builds and builds and builds without ever really paying it off with a big finale.

2023 Game 37: San Diego Padres at Minnesota Twins

Seth Lugo
vs
Pablo López

Twins starters are tied with the Mariners for first in fWAR, 5.2. The Rays are third at 4.3. The relievers unfortunately rank 17th. More unfortunately, the batters are way down at 21st. Correa is a big part of that but Miranda has been worse. The success of the starters means it has been nice to know the team will be in the game until late each time. Sure, I also know those 2-0 games very likely could end up at 2-0 or 2-1 but it's nicer than knowing last season it will not stay at only two runs given up.

Saint-Saëns – Carnival of the Animals – Aquarium

I'd heard this one in a million different things, but it wasn't until this past winter that I'd actually learned what it was, thanks to Newbish's music class at school. This is a good version of the song which gets bonus points for using a glass armonica, as was intended.
